New ag program at Glen Oaks

Glen Oaks Community College has announced a new associate and certificate program in Agricultural Equipment Technology that will launch this fall.
The two-year, daytime associate degree program will train students to diagnose, service, repair, maintain and overhaul farm equipment.
Students will receive state-of-the-art technical training on the latest major brand equipment through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory activities and supervised occupational work experience at a dealership.
Glen Oaks President David Devier said it is the only community college in Michigan to offer such a program.
The program prepares students for all equipment brands and associated technologies. It will be offered in a cohort group format at Burnips Equipment in Three Rivers.
